India rejects UN report on 2025 Waqf law, calling it flawed and defending its push for transparency and women’s rights in Muslim endowments.
India has rejected a UN report by special rapporteur Nicolas Levrat on the 2025 Waqf Amendment Act, calling it factually flawed and hostile.
At the Human Rights Council, Indian representative Gaurav Kumar Thakur defended the law as progressive, emphasizing its goals of transparency, gender equality, and effective management of Muslim charitable endowments.
The act empowers minority Muslim groups like the Bohras and Agakhanis to establish their own places of worship and mandates women's representation on Waqf boards.
Thakur criticized the report for relying on politically motivated sources and dismissed claims that the law undermines religious rights, reaffirming India’s commitment to constitutional protections for religious and linguistic minorities.
